When welding lengths of tube and pipework fabrications, as well as sections of pipelines of 20 metres length and more, one problem operators face is not receiving a fast and true weld purge reading from the purge zone. Now, for the first time, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® makes it possible to ...

Ensuring your Tungsten Electrode is sharpened correctly can help to improve weld quality. Tungsten Electrode Grinders are a convenient, safer and accurate way than other methods of grinding Tungsten Electrodes. Back by popular demand, Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT® have re-initiated the manufac ...

Weld Purging a variety of pipes of different diameters can prove complex and costly, particularly when having to fill whole pipework systems with expensive argon gas. One solution that welders have traditionally devised has been to construct homemade foam or paper dams that are placed either side of ...

Effective plugging and sealing of pipes in heavy-duty applications is essential, especially in refineries, offshore operations, plumbing operations as well as domestic and industrial water activities where the plug is likely to be immersed in chemicals or exposed to high temperatures. The Pipestopp ...

It is important when welding metals such as stainless steel, titanium and zirconium that the welding zone is purged of oxygen even as low as 10 parts per million (ppm) before, during and immediately after welding, in order to achieve a clean, oxide free, zero colour weld. Weld Purging Experts Hunti ...

Weld Purging closure welds can be challenging, especially when using a tandem inflatable system to reduce the volume being purged. Often, the system becomes irretrievable and therefore other weld purging methods have to be used, to avoid unwanted products in the pipe. The innovative Weld Purge ...

Many welders today are still using 2% red-tipped thoriated Tungsten Electrodes, which contain radiotoxic thoria and therefore can be dangerous to health of those exposed to it, especially in the dust format from grinding the tips. To overcome the accumulated hazardous thoria conditions, whilst main ...

Producing zero colour tube and pipe welds when joining metals such as stainless, duplex and chrome steels, titanium and zirconium can be challenging and at times can prove costly. In many industries today the welding zone has to be purged of oxygen down as low as 100 ppm, or even lower in industries ...

There is a large number of pipe plugging and blocking requirements within a variety of industries such as Oil & Gas, Construction, Plumbing, Shipbuilding, Mining, Power etc., for duties such as repair work, leak testing, weld purging and debris stopping. One major concern being the entry of debris i ...

Titanium, stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials are used for tubing and pipework especially where there are highly corrosive materials flowing through them. When such pipework is welded for joining or repairs, it is necessary to protect the material in and close to the weld joint ...

Weld Purging is the act of removing oxygen from the vicinity of a weld before, during and after welding metals such as stainless steel, titanium, zirconium and nickel alloys. Without Weld Purging, the weld would be left oxidised and discoloured, which could then lead to loss of corrosion resistance ...

During the welding of tanks, chambers and vessels, an uneven root profile can cause product entrapment that may contaminate a process as well as interrupting flow characteristics. Many weld joints require a controlled underbead profile of the first root pass. Where manual welding cannot control the ...

Public buildings, factories, manufacturing plants, power stations, hotels, sports facilities, stadiums, apartment blocks and all commercial constructions may have pipework systems such as sprinkler systems for example, that are full of water or other fluid that need to be completely drained for the ...

Weld Purging tubes and pipes for the Oil and Gas Industry is crucial when joining metals such as stainless, duplex and chrome steels, as well as nickel alloys, titanium and zirconium. However, when welding larger pipe diameters it is not cost effective to completely fill tubes and pipes with expensi ...

With the growth of Nuclear Power activities around the World, there is a large volume of stainless steel pipework that will need to be welded to a high standard, with no oxidation that can lead to loss of corrosion resistance. To meet the higher standards of welding that the Nuclear Industry expe ...
